Through the magic of Twitter, CBC learned about Toby Barazzuol of Eclipse Awards.  Toby and SVIer Gill Yaron, Frogfile, have opened  businesses in Strathcona in an effort to create a new eco-friendly zone for business in Vancouver.

I  had a ten day Cortes Island end of the year quiet time. The focus was family, reading, walking, firewood, dvd's, and a rich reflective period to sort the world shifts of 2008 and to plan strategies for 2009 for myself and my organization. My learning project of year end was a new language. Twitter.
